How We Met

06.19.27

We met at a get-together through our mutual friends that set us up. The funny thing is, we did not hit it off. As most of you know, Mac is more reserved when getting to know him, and I am loud and outspoken. Knowing that, you probably know the night went something like me trying to keep the conversation going and Mac sitting there, so shy, responding as little as possible, lol. He actually stared at me across the room... all night. (Stay with us.. it gets good.)I remember thinking, absolutely not. Mac on the otherhand, left thinking he messed this all up... he texted me the next day saying "what do you say we spin this back and I take you out monday night?" and I texted him back something along the lines of I was busy and had cheer practice. The weekend came along, and for some reason we could not put the phone down. We texted each other all of that weekend, just getting to know each other, and by the time Monday came... we went out anyways. We spent our first date at Sonic and we were so nervous, but everything flowed so naturally. We laughed all night.. well til 9:30 pm because Mac had curfew (college football problems). We have spent everyday since together. Somewhere along the lines.. picking me up from my dorm turned into seeing you at home. Picking me up after practice turned into seeing you after work. And our nightly hangout at Sonic turned into 2 for 1 margaritas at Compadres. The nervous conversations turned into knowing what the other was thinking without saying a word. And the boy who was once too shy to talk to me became the man I turn to for everything. We built a life without even realizing it. We have watched each other grow so much, celebrated big moments, held each other through the hard ones, and prayed for the moments to come, but one thing always remains: it's always been us. As the seasons change and we grow as people, we continue to fall in love over and over again. God has a funny sense of humor because had you told us that night that we would be Husband and Wife one day I think we both would have questioned that! But, we would not have it any other way. We are blessed beyond measure to have one another to lean on as spouses, best friends, soulmates, and so much more! We are so grateful for all of our support as well! We will see you at the altar on June Nineteenth!
